Chapter 140: The World's No. 1 Private Placement
Lin Dong and the father and daughter of the Fu family had a meal in the bamboo garden, and Fu Jiacong and Zen Master Zhiguang had not seen each other for several years, and were left by Zen Master Zhiguang to talk at night. There was no extra Zen room in the bamboo garden, so the wise Zen master took Lin Dong and Fu Ying to the wing room in the Kuzhu Temple at the bottom of the mountain.
Fu Ying was originally a disciple of Kuzhu Temple, so he was more casual, so he went to find a side room to sleep in. The Wisdom Zen Master took Lin Dong to a small courtyard, and when Lin Dong saw that the lights of the other two wings were on, he knew that there must be other people staying in the temple.
"Lin Jushi, you can live in this room." The Zen Master of Wisdom took him into the house, explained a few words, and left. It was still early, Lin Dong did not feel sleepy, walked out of the wing, sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked up at the stars in the sky, and thought about what Zen Master Zhiguang said to him in the afternoon.
"Have a noble person to help? I wonder who my noble man will be? ”
Lin Dong was thinking about it when he saw a person crash open the courtyard door and stumble in. He was followed by two young monks.
"Master Lu, please don't drink in the temple in the future." The two monks finished speaking, clasped their palms together, whispered a few words of Amitabha, and left.
The drunk man raised his head, saw Lin Dong, laughed, and walked over slowly, Lin Dong was more than ten meters away, and he could also smell the smell of wine on his body. The man carried a wine bottle in his hand, walked closer, and suddenly lay on the stone platform, stared at Lin Dong, and after a long time, opened his mouth and said, "Brother, drink with me!" ”
Lin Dong didn't know who this person was, and when he saw that he was drunk, he was disgusted, and said coldly: "Put it aside or don't drink it." This is a quiet place for Buddhism, and there is a way to follow the customs of the locals, so don't break the rules of Buddhism. ”
The man raised his head, his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a cold light flashed in his drunken eyes, which were as sharp as a sharp blade. He looked at Lin Dong for a while, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the little brother, was there a temple here a thousand years ago?" ”
Lin Dong knew that Kuzhu Temple had only a history of more than 300 years, and immediately replied: "No." ”
The man smiled and said, "Buddhism pays attention to the emptiness of all laws, so why don't we return to our origins?" This is a barren mountain, so why can't I drink here? ”
Although this drunkard's words are strong, they are also sharp, Lin Dong couldn't come up with words to refute him for a while, so he said: "This big brother, let you speak like a spring, and I won't drink with you in the temple." You're looking for the wrong person. ”
The man grabbed Lin Dong's arm and said with a smile: "So, as long as you leave the temple, you agree to drink with me?" ”
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. The man laughed, took Lin Dong's arm, and walked out the door.
"Where are you taking me?" That man's strength was so great that Lin Dong struggled a few times before he broke free from his grasp.
The man glanced back at him and looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect Lin Dong to have so much strength.
"Brother, my brother sincerely invites you to drink and admire the moon. You said that you can't drink alcohol in the quiet place of Buddhism, my brother is not drinking in the temple, so let's go out to drink, what's the matter? ”
The man's eyes were burning and he stared at Lin Dong. Lin Dong saw that he was burly and dignified, and he should be a downright person, so he nodded at the moment and followed him out of Kuzhu Temple. The man seemed to be drunk, but he was very sober, and he took Lin Dong around, but he took him a shortcut.
Out of the temple gate, the man walked ahead, took out two bottles of wine from a Humvee parked outside, and threw one to Lin Dong. The two of them walked a short distance, sat down in a clearing, drank and chatted in front of the starlight.
Lin Dong saw that the clothes on his body were dirty and stained with oil, and he couldn't see the brand, but the materials of his clothes and pants were all of high quality, so he asked, "Brother, have you been in the temple for a long time, haven't you brought any clothes?" ”
The man knew the meaning of Lin Dong's words, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of clothes, so I didn't change them to show my piety." ”
"Pious?" Lin Dong smiled and said in his heart, could it be that this guy dares to drink in front of the Buddha, and he will still be devout to the Buddha?
The man sighed, took a sip of wine, and choked on his face, "Ten years ago, it was a harsh winter, it snowed heavily, I was cheated out of all my net worth in business, and my wife also followed the enemy. I was frustrated, wandering the world, passing through here, exhausted, fainting on the side of the road with hunger, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, my body was full of falling snow, my body had been frozen, fortunately Zhiguang Zen Master rescued, only to pick up a surname. ”
The man tore open a bag of drunkard peanuts, handed it to Lin Dong, took out another bag from his pocket, tore it open, poured a handful in the palm of his hand, stuffed a mouthful, puffed out his cheeks and chewed for a while, took a sip of wine, and continued: "After I woke up, Zen Master Zhiguang gave me an eight-character proposition. ”
Lin Dong became interested and asked urgently, "What are the eight words?" ”
The man looked up at the starry sky and said, "The hidden dragon is in the abyss, wait for the time!" ”
"The hidden dragon is in the abyss, waiting for the time?" Lin Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "What about later?" ”
The man fell backwards and fell on the grass, "Later...... Hey, then I Land Rover Achievement was made! After Land Rover was enlightened by Zen Master Zhiguang, he not only regained his confidence, but also found the right direction, and after going down the mountain, in just a few years, he became the uncrowned king of the private equity industry.
"Land Rover?" Lin Dong was surprised, "You are the world's No. 1 private placement Land Rover?" ”
Lu Rover Cheng tilted his head and glanced at him, "Oh, you know me too?" ”
Lu Hucheng, a legendary figure in China's financial industry, no one in the securities industry knows his name! Lin Dong has read his biography and knows that he was born in a wealthy family, he was cheated out of all his money in business in his early years, and he owed a lot of debts, and then disappeared for a year or two, and after reappearing, he rose rapidly and established the world's first private equity "Dragon Diving Investment".
Lin Dong looked excited, but he didn't expect that the drunk man in front of him was Lu Hucheng, the founder of the world's first private placement, and he was incoherent with excitement for a while, not knowing what to say.
"That...... Brother Lu, I, my name is Lin Dong, and I have admired you for a long time. ”
After holding back for a long time, Lin Dong said these words intermittently.
Lu Hucheng smiled and asked, "Lin Dong, if you had known that I was Lu Hucheng, would you have drunk with me in the temple?" ”
"No, it won't. But I'll invite you outside for a drink. Lin Dong seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, Brother Lu, why did you return to Kuzhu Temple this time?" ”
Lu Hucheng took a sip of wine and said: "At the beginning, Zen Master Zhiguang only approved my famous words for ten years, but now that ten years have passed, of course I came to him to ask me about my next fate." It's a pity that Zen Master Zhiguang refused to see me, last night, I took advantage of the monks who were patrolling the night in the temple to change the guard, and took the opportunity to touch the bamboo garden of Xiaozhufeng, and saw Zen Master Zhiguang, but he drove it down. ”
Lin Dong asked, "Did Zen Master Zhiguang say anything?" ”
"Having said that, I don't have to look for him anymore, I just need to wait for someone at the bottom of the mountain." Speaking of this, Lu Hucheng's eyes suddenly widened, turned over and sat up, and looked at Lin Dong, "Brother, you won't be the destined person that Zen Master Zhiguang said, right?" ”
Lin Dong was shocked in his heart, remembered what Zen Master Zhiguang had said to him, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Lu, you won't be my nobleman, right?" ”
The two were both surprised and delighted, and told each other what Zen Master Zhiguang said.
Lin Dong exclaimed: "The old Zen master is really a god, and he has the ability to predict the future, so he can guess in advance that I will come." ”
Lu Hucheng let out a hearty laugh, "Brother, everyone has their own fate, and many things are predestined." Come! Let's do it! Land Rover Cheng picked up the wine bottle, there was still half a bottle of wine in the bottle, hung the wine bottle upside down, and poured half a bottle of wine.
Seeing that he was so arrogant, Lin Dong was not to be outdone, and just like him, he poured the remaining wine in the bottle. After Lu Rover finished drinking, he threw the empty bottle far away. Lin Dong smiled and threw the wine bottle out as well.
"Happy!" The two clapped each other, their palms clasped tightly together.
"Brother, could it be that you are also an insider?" Land Rover Cheng asked, with blazing eyes.
"To tell you the truth, I'm also in private equity." Lin Dong replied.
Land Rover Cheng became interested and asked, "Oh, which private placement?" ”
"Jinding Investment."
"I haven't heard of it." Land Rover's surname is very low, not good at hypocrisy, and telling the truth.
Lin Dong didn't think it was strange, it would be really strange if the leading boss in the private equity industry today knew about him, a small private equity that had just been established. Lu Rover Cheng saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked him to say it. Lin Dong said bluntly, and Lu Hucheng laughed when he heard it.
"What should I do! It turns out to be this big fart, I have a fate with my brother, we might as well be brothers with different surnames in front of the Buddha, and your difficulties are my difficulties in the future, our brothers support each other, work together, meet God and kill God, meet Buddha...... Buddha. ”
Lu Hucheng thought that he was in a Buddhist temple, and he was about to go to the Buddha to swear righteousness, and he couldn't be disrespectful to the Buddha, so he shut up and silenced him, and smiled.
Lin Dong got up, pulled Lu Hucheng up, and said with a smile: "Go!" Big brother, let's go to the Buddha now and become brothers! ”
Land Rover Cheng drank too much and walked unsteadily. Lin Dong lifted him up and helped him walk towards the temple. The two quietly slipped into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, knelt on the futon, bowed down in front of the golden Buddha statue, and swore an oath in unison, leading to eight worships.
"Brother!"
"Big brother!"
The two of them helped each other up, staggered out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, returned to the meditation room arranged by the wise Zen master, shared a bed, and slept on their feet. When I got up early the next morning, I heard the sound of Lu Hucheng practicing in the courtyard, and Lin Dong got dressed and walked towards the courtyard.
"Big brother, what kind of boxing is this you fighting?" Lin Dong saw that the Land Rover was in the wind with both fists, opening and closing, quite imposing, and couldn't help asking.
After Lu Rover Cheng finished punching all the way, he stopped, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and said: "I was a soldier when I was young, and the boxing method you just saw is actually not famous, it is adapted from military boxing." The eldest brother fell ill in his early years, and he had to exercise diligently, otherwise he would not live to be sixty. ”
Lin Dong said: "Then you are still drinking like that, I knew it was like this, no matter what you said last night, I would not drink with you." ”
Lu Hucheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head again and again, "Wine is a good thing, without wine, I would have died a long time ago." Lin Dong noticed a lonely look on his face when he said this, thinking of Lu Hucheng's past, how would he survive if there was no wine in that period?
